Pie fans ahoy! With over 600 pie reviews, Pierate is surely the web's premier pie resource. We've been eating and rating pies according to the 'Seven Cs' since 2009. Follow us on @pierateers. pierateship@yahoo.co.uk

But I guess with every rule, there has to be some sort of get-out clause.
And for us here at Pierate, if there is one thing we’re willing to discuss on
this blog that isn’t directly related to the humble pie itself, it’s having a
bit of pun with words. For what would a good pie review be without a play on
the name, the ingredients or where we ate pie?!

So thank you BBC for your 1,200 words spent debating the pros, the cons, the
rise and fall of this humble art form:

“The
efflorescence of punnery on social networking sites...suggests that puns have
become acceptable as part of the online conversation.”

However despite all the debate and the suggestion of a bright online future
for the pun, for us here at Pierate there is no doubt. Like you can’t have a
filling without a full casing of pastry surrounding it, you can’t have a good
pie review without some pun and games. Fact!
